Well-respected authors from Canada and the US. The authors do not shy away from issues that are often left out of the sustainable urbanism conversation, such as the role of immigration.
Ray Tomalty is principal of Smart Cities Research Services, a research consultancy specialising in urban sustainability, including growth management, active transportation, green infrastructure, community energy planning, housing affordability, fiscal issues, and urban governance. He is the author of many research papers and policy reports prepared for federal, provincial and municipal governments and the non-profit sector in Canada. He is an adjunct professor at McGill University's School of Urban Planning and sits on the editorial board of Alternatives Journal, Canada's foremost environmental magazine. Alan Mallach is a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution and at the Center for Community Progress. He is the author of many works on housing and planning, including Bringing Buildings Back and Building a Better Urban Future: New Directions for Housing Policies in Weak Market Cities. He served as director of housing and economic development for Trenton, N.J. from 1990 to 1999 and is currently a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
"In America's Urban Future, Tomalty and Mallach make a well articulated case that if US cities want to get serious about livability and environmental sustainability, they have a lot to learn from Canadian ones. Canadians or Americans alike should read America's Urban Future, especially if you care about urban sustainability and livability, could use a primer on current research into how both are measured, or just want to help make your city or region a better place."-- "Spacing"
